Gordon White | Finding The Earthkeepers, The Future Forecast, & The Iodine Era

00:01 Alright guys, look we know what this is. It's my pre-show pitch to try and convert more free first hour listeners to full 2 hour plus show subscribers And this is a format I've been using for 10 years now so I realize that most people who see the value have already pulled the trigger on it But now I'm trying to get deep down into those hard-to-reach places, and I guess that's you. Now what can I say that hasn't been said? There are only a few ways a podcast works The big one is ads They suck They ruin the flow of the show And in a lot of cases they erode the trust and respect I have for hosts who go this route They shouldn't be promoting boner pills or hair pills Or encouraging a fast track through their therapy pipeline just because they're getting paid

00:39 I've seen nutritionists break down some of these ingredients in the athletic health powders and drinks, and surprise! They're not as good as they claim to be. I bought a razor my favorite podcaster said would be Nick-proof, nicked myself the first day. I got sucked into a foam mattress from a guy who said he's never slept better, and i haven't slept good since And that Irish titles thing everyone was selling turned out to be a complete scam too. But enough about how my colleagues mouths are for sale to whoever asks, I'm here to put you in this plus membership today! Five shows a month for eight bucks with a decade long archive and yes the first hour is important it's there to present our guests to the wide counterculture open-minded audience we've cultivated and it gives people a feel for if they like what THC is

01:22 As well as being the proof of concept that I can do a lot more with the added time. The second hour is so I can make a living and it's also an opportunity to get into the stuff your standard one-hour shows can't, asking guests about that obscure provocative quote from their book that I actually read, talking about previous work they might have done getting their thoughts on some odd subject outside of their latest material or maybe even talking about something too spicy to be out there in the open And that should appeal to anyone who enjoys the first hour, and when you become a Plus member these full episodes are all there in single two-hour file no switching back and forth or downloading two separate halves of the same interview. It's very nice to have it that way going forward, and if you want to go back unlike most podcast archives that are just big chronological lists TheHigherSideChats.com has categories and scrolling displays much like the big streaming services and its all optimized for mobile and you can even download files for offline listening

02:18 Find some old ones you liked and refresh your memory by starting at the beginning or jump in about 50 minutes to hear everything that would be new to you. I'm even going to pull one free plus show a month out of the archive and into the free feed to give you an even better sense of what you miss! The on-site comment section is pretty lively and the rating system is there to let me know the shows plus people like best. You also get lifetime access to the forum, an access to a bonus page of exclusive interviews I've done here and there, bonus content from other shows that I was on, videos from the few live podcasts I've done in the mp3's of all the THC closing cover songs I've had made

02:54 But that's not all folks, Plus members also get a discount code for THC merch. A lot of great artwork of aliens summoning rituals hollow earth maps and a wide range of wild stuff put on shirts coffee mugs pillows yada yada yada but it's the ongoing full interviews people want and its convenience that they need Well, I know 90% of listeners are in a podcasting app right now. So at the top of the show notes there are sign up links! The form is quick and easy and THC Plus has RSS feed like any other show and it can be used with all big podcast apps too. I've got support documents and real non-bot people to help you if you need it but its been made as easy as it can be and you get 7 day free trial to make sure im right...at least meet me there.

03:37 I also have a Patreon link at the top of the show notes, which i don't love. Id rather not have middle man between us when we could be dancing cheek to cheek but they are a Spotify partner and alot of people choose spotify to listen to THC so wanted to make sure they could use it for plus while they let us The show notes also give you my PO box for cash, checks or business to business bartering as well as all the crypto addresses because anything is better than nothing. And I want the plus shows to be heard any way they can be just offer me some kind of exchange ya know? This is the job that I work at! I use this example a lot, but a waiter gets an $8 tip for walking the most forgettable meal of your life from the kitchen to the table and you don't get anything extra for your 8 dollars either. If what I do here isn't at least worth that is it even worth your time? Hey hey! I don't like doing this part of my job but I owe it to my family now to suck up and make my case while I can because who knows how long this can last.

04:33 I'm not some Hollywood millionaire trying to appear genuine through a focus-grouped podcasting venture cycling through all the other celebrities in the agency. I am just a regular guy who had to make myself valuable when the working world didn't think I had anything to offer, and hope that this first free hour proves that full experience is worth it's price! If we don't like the ad revenue based world were living in then we have support people who dare do it a different way, who provide us something interesting entertaining and hopefully useful Outside of that, I just ask that you support the guests who resonate with you or at least let them know you appreciated what you heard. And that's it! We can get on with the show and we'll let the rest of the podcasting world pretend there is no better way to do it than disingenuously hyping up any product that cuts them a check while we'd do our own thing. Meet me on the plus side, the waters fine...and enjoy!

05:34 Until you've thoroughly tested every last closed chested view I find the more you think, you know the less you really do Without THC You know they're lying to us Just don't know to what degree Where would we be without THC The higher side shall show Great accompany Happy new year, higher side chatters from the sunshine state. I'm Greg Carlwood and as we know that turning to the page on a new year usually brings reflections on the things we could have done better and a wave of motivation for tackling the things we hope to accomplish going forward though at this point in the timeline many of us have been pushed so far that we don't have much left in the tank.

06:28 Fear-generating false flags, manipulative war rhetoric, economic uncertainty, rising costs, shaky infrastructure, emotionally abusive social media, stress inducing mainstream media. The ET disclosure tease over medication subpar for Frankenfood, not-so natural extreme weather events, a political shitshow of an upcoming election year, cyber attack narratives seeding a pandemic of nihilism and even just the everyday danger of navigating erratic drivers on a simple mundane errand run. We are in a wide window of time where many of us just feel like we haven't truly gotten past the last thing before were hit with the next

07:06 But it is important to keep the spirit of life, love hope and optimism alive in spite of the big machine's best attempts to bleed us out. The field needs it! And in an attempt to help us find the important threads in the chaos of the big conspiracy cardigan, the theme today is Earth Keepers. We're highlighting the right human guides across the crowded commentary landscape on a wide variety of important subjects and with us to break it all down as the returning champion of THC appearances The Great & Powerful Dark Prince Of Chaos Magic My friend and yours, Gordon White of RuneSoup.com the internet's own Hogwarts Academy and the best magic school available online today made even better by the latest edition of insanely detailed and robust foundations of Magic Course that should help anyone dive into life-improving power of magical toolbox they so desperately want us to forget about

07:58 We've talked about all of his great books and pretty much everything under the sun in previous episodes. And now he's upped his ambitious undertakings to include an invitation to all, to participate in his call for a sigil-a-day practice throughout the sure to be hectic year of 2024! But if there is any truth to the idea that we are the reflection of our five closest friends then there must be something similar to be said about those from which we absorb information and seek advice And maybe our own personal pantheons of people to follow for the road ahead could use some tweaking in our never-ending attempt to separate the signal from the noise. Well, let's do it! The professor of practical enchantment, the certified shamanic healer and the earthkeeper seeker Gordon my man always a pleasure how the hell are ya? Wonderful happy new year thank you so much and I remain in awe of the stuff you can come up with for each successive intro but that was good well done

08:54 Appreciate that. Lately, you and I have been ping-ponging back and forth on a few top 10 book lists on both your show and mine. And this is somewhat in the same vein but my idea was to highlight the best people to stay plugged into for high level analysis of various pieces of the big pie good resources to help with any stress or uncertainty. You came back with the term earth keepers which sounds good but flesh that out for us what makes a person an earth keeper? So, I get this term from Dr. Alberto Violdo who runs the healing system before Wins Academy that I trained in and the term is the English version of a Quechua term, curacácuyac. It's essentially he would say a shaman who stepped outside of time. It's an enlightened master who masticates wisdom. The word in Quechua curacácuyac basically means chewing up wisdom in the same way that a bird would for a yoke.

09:53 Right. So an earthkeeper is someone in, it's a precise definition of someone who has had certain rights that allows them to operate let's say at the level of angels and at the behest of angels for dreaming into being on the better world. It's a really lovely overarching metaphor for the kind of thing that we're talking about in terms of finding people to be as we move through this absolute shit show, but also on a personal level working out what is yours to do. And with that as an idea I'm not saying you become an earthkeeper because it's previously mentioned like contain specific rights for that to happen, but you can think about okay what actions? What thoughts? What connections do I make so the tunnel of 2024 that we're all moving through

10:42 improves, but that's an earthkeeper. It's a shaman who stepped outside of time and it's an idea all of beings who relate and think and teach and share towards a better version of the future. So yeah, that's all great. And I thought this was a good idea because your blogs and solo podcasts are always full of name drops of people I haven't heard of and I wanted to hear more about them And we're not really ranking these people, but just highlighting who we think gets it right most of the time when it comes to various outside-the box perspectives. Who is inspiring as you say? Who are these shamans who have stepped out a time in their areas of expertise? I'm sure I'll send a lot of them interview requests when were done here. Ones that are still alive!

11:32 Fair enough, fair enough. Well before we get into actual people what do you think are some of the most important subject areas that are going to be important in the next year or core competencies that people listening might need to get right given what you expect on the road ahead? Something in between emotional and autonomic resilience or balance because this year if you think the last three years were a stress on your credulity and what you can put up with at the level of stress and gaslighting, it's off the chain in 2024. Particularly for Americans as you head into if you have it which you won't a real election, the gas lighting is going to be off the chain and you have to make sure that it doesn't damage your nervous system. It doesn't damage your amygdala. It doesn't mess with your flow. And that's really key like whatever you need to maintain coherence

12:30 Cold showers, meditation. That's key. Maintaining your center and your coherence because it's going to get rough. That's the main one. Things that flow on from that of course are health and health sovereignty. The good news is for people who listen to something like THC, the last three years should have been a masterclass in that for you where you are sovereign over your health which I would say is everywhere outside of accidents but That's going to become important. That's a flow on from it, so it's essentially overall looking at where you have sovereignty and where you don't cede sovereignty. I listened to Jordan Peterson last month or the month before saying anything that you give up

13:14 politically, is automatically taken up by tyranny. So that works on the level of your nutrition, that works on the level of food. Anything that you outsource is taken out by the bad guys definitionally in this collapsing late capitalist pseudo-republic when we're talking about US it doesn't matter what direction am I talking government? Am I talking IRS? Am I talking food corporations anything that you get up like no fuck I'll just take the pill. It's taken out by the bad guys." So that's kind of key, right? Your sovereignty, your boundaries when it comes to your autonomic system and your health and so on. Then the other one which is my permanent prayer for the last few years, what is mine to do, right? When you have that sense of quiet and sovereignty, you are invited to make that inward turn to find

14:04 What wants to come through into the universe, through you and what you are being called by God or whatever. However you see that to do and to perform those two are the I guess the twin pistons and anything after that becomes a little bit more precise to your particular situation Do you? Are you hashtag van life? Do you live in a castle in Austria however that happens to be Right. And on the subject of what is mine to do and Jordan Peterson, something I heard from him recently for all his flaws that I really liked was he was talking about the commitment he made to speaking truthfully no matter how uncomfortable it might be and he operates under the premise philosophy is that the more you can commit to speaking truthfully not saying what people want to hear

14:57 The closer you can get or the better your chances are of finding what is yours to do and living the life you're supposed to live because it's the lies and the appeasing other people. And this sort of stuff that really takes you out of the flow, gets you out of your lane that you're here to drive through. I thought about that and I thought it was fairly insightful. I liked it Obviously truth is a big part of what we do and oftentimes it is uncomfortable. And with every new thing we're hit with, I definitely get feedback you'll find people who

15:35 They were fine with the COVID takes, they were fine with the Ukraine takes. But now on the Gaza takes they're like I've been listening to you for 10 years and I can't believe that you would say this about the Gaza situation and I'm done supporting you and I'll never support you again. And so with every new thing we're hit with even though I thought we were working on a template for how to discern the truth from the lies I just find that there's always some people who can't apply the template to the latest situation. And so, i'm thinking about life as a new dad. I got a long time to be making money to keep this family afloat and i'm just seeing like a chiseling away with every new thing and i think about the road ahead and how chaotic it does seem and i'm like all

16:25 almost dreading staying truthful. I mean, I'm going to that's what the whole thing is about but i'm dreading the negative feedback of that process and I'm trying to find hopefully part of this today is gonna help people find more bright minds to follow so that in aggregate they can keep that template strong and apply it when it needs to be applied to each new thing that we will be hit with. Yeah absolutely When he says that, it comes from his Christian metaphysics which I'm in some resonance with. But generally speaking if you consider the creation myths of the world they do have something to do with in the most part being spoken into reality and the beginning was the word, ohm and so on there is something deep and powerful about true words becoming reality that is at the foundation or cornerstone of how we see

17:20 being in a body on earth. It's a bigger deal than people think, it's not just like someone might say something mean to me on Twitter and it's like no no this is somehow fundamental to how creation self works so if you have concerns I would say...it has been my experience over the last three years particularly when at the beginning of it and we were on that show together in April 2020 I told my listeners and my audience I have never lied to you and will never lie I might be wrong, but what I'm not going to do is lie. What I'm not going to do is actually change what I think is going on in reality because I'm craving it, because I'm a coward, because I'm fucking not." All right? And we all took some hits through that time and I think if it's going to happen again...I had to do the same thing with the divide and politics of the Gaza situation. But you just have to move through and realize that yeah, you can be concerned about making money for your kids

18:20 There's also a bigger transaction, I would say involved which is your soul. And having to answer at some stage at the end for like okay well however you want to say it God whatever...God called you to do something which is form a community around exploring these ideas around what power is trying to say to us and that's what THC is And if you squander that, if you go oh I'm scared then you don't deserve it and then it will be taken from you. You have to answer for that at the gates of St Peter or however you want to talk about the afterlife. That's something I want people to think about as we move into 2024 is nothing is worth the cost of your immortal soul however you see that statement and be careful with the gifts of insight that you've received. This is kind of the secret

19:13 wisdom mastication of the Kodak or Kuyak is we can know with a higher degree of clarity what the next few years are going to look like. And, we'll talk about the astrology and so on later on but when you were getting on the bus don't necessarily say that the bus driver World War III 2025-2027 ending with at least a limited nuclear exchange between Russia China and US Midtown, please. We need to work out how we masticate that wisdom but not lie, how we're actually true to what's going on because it's not so much a lie but it might be a sin against the gifts as well to say that, to actually freak someone out with World War III rather than pretend that it's not going to happen. This is why What Is Mine To Do? is my favorite of these kinds of prayers and my favorite thoughts because

20:11 We can't give a universal. Whoever's listening to this is going to have a different configuration of their contact points with reality and what wants to come through, all you can do is find that what is mine to do." And I agree like We have to look at this in a sober way, basically. 2024 is going to suck and then really World War III does actually start 2025-2027 like that's what happens right? So there's no sense pretending otherwise I have these conversations with my astrologer friends all the time certainly over the last three years as their version of the Craven cowardice that we might've seen in alternative media land

20:46 is to just pretend when their clients want to know, oh I'm thinking about getting married in 2026 in Taiwan. You maybe just go, hmmm... Maybe not there! Have you thought of Chile? Because that's not great but they're just carrying on pretending that everything's going to be some sort of happy reversion into the Obama years. We all need to And we are, but what you're doing if you're listening to this is absolutely fundamentally important to making sure that most of us or as many of us as possible make it through this necessary transition.

21:27 Well said and that also vibes a lot with what i've heard you say in the solo show about the plight of the fortune teller or the magician. To tell the truth and uncomfortable time sometimes people get hung for that or stabbed by a crowd because they don't like to hear, what's coming but thats not endorsement of whats coming it's not any kind of It's just, it is what it is and bad news. Is still like news. It's still like something actionable you could take in maybe something as big as world war three can't be changed but you can change your orientation to it and not tomorrow. It's a year from now. And that's a long time to do something if you don't like your positioning today but let's get into some of the people I don't really want this to be just like a big list of names

22:16 But we kind of talked about doing it by category. We're talking geopolitics when it comes to the situation ahead, current event analysis where do you go? Because if you're trying to find people who are inspiring but are also telling the truth that's a tough needle to thread because It's a little doom and gloomy ahead. That's true and that's a really good point so because of the way I approach life I start with forecasters So I start with my own blended cycle models, so my own understanding of Mayan astrology and so on. And astrologers as well. So Austin Coppock we do a show every six months. There are other great astrologists out there on YouTube who don't pull their punches. Cam White's another one of them. World Astrology Report with Dan Waitz is another one. S.J. Anderson

23:10 And then the reason I'm mentioning all of them is for me, obviously famously Martin Armstrong from a forecast perspective is the biggest source of non-astrological forecasting that I fold into my model. He's also my go to for the beginnings of geopolitical analysis because he does the work of folding it into the forecast anyway because...I'm going to give you a couple other names, Catherine Austin Fitz, obviously The Amazing Whitney Webb and so on Neither of them operate to a forecasting model that makes sense to me. I've been doing magic for decades, and so I know that astrology works. So they can say what they hope or what they might fear would happen but I'm kind of looking at really good analysis of what's going on now and then I can think further up the timeline as to where this space weather is going to be. That's my process of how I find my way through geopolitical analysis.

24:07 But what I like about Catherine Oskendritsch in the Solari report is that she does bring as much optimism as possible to a very grim situation. If not optimism, more like hope. She's a very spiritual woman and she's just a proud Christian woman and that comes through and I need that medicine right? Like if you look at the gold bugs and people trying to sell you different crypto ETFs They're using the apocalypse as marketing material in a way that I don't find very satisfactory. So, that's what I look for. I look for thinkers who can map to a forecast model that I find useful which is a blended astrology one and then I look for diligence and maturity and sobriety when it comes to analysis." And those first two thoughts off of top my head there were Catherine and Whitney. What about you?

24:59 Well, similar Catherine Austin fits I love the Solari report is great because. Yes, she talks about how bad things are going to be in this upcoming chapter of the story. But then she's already talking about well let's get together with the ideas that are going to come after the rebuilding utopia kind of stuff so she doesn't leave you with the doom and gloom. She just tells you hey this is the birthing process of something better and it's painful I can tell you that i've seen a couple of birds and its not looking fun

25:35 So that's what i like about her and whitney webb is just really good with the connections if you really wanna know the names of individual players in organizations and banks are involved doing this to us, breaking everything well she's the go-to cuz she puts it all together. And she can recite it without notes on any interview. It's incredible, any show you listen to just the host should really just turn it over and let her go because it's always really good. I also like no agenda just to name another podcast, but Adam Curry and John C Dvorak. The reason their podcast is so good. And it is hard to jump into if you've never really listened or you don't know the structure of it.

26:16 But it is just media deconstruction. They play the clips from mainstream media, they play the clips from political speeches and then they stop it like did you hear that right there? That was the key word. You know that's really what they're planning or this is all the polite speak for what they're really doing under the hood and It's just really good because I don't even have the time or the energy They want to digest as much mainstream media as they're digesting, but the beauty of it is you hear the clips directly. So even if you don't love their analysis

26:56 Well, you get to hear the source material that they're pulling that analysis from. So you can make your own, you can tweak theirs a little bit but I find it to be pretty spot on there usually really ahead of the curve of a lot of stuff they were doing these Ozempic clips Almost a year ago and now everybody's on ozempic, and it's just so great when they play these clips of doctors going on CNN. You know like the cnn doctor coming on to tell about this great new product And they're always great at calling out native ads, they're like this is a paid spot. If you were just watching CNN and you would let that slip by it would just be another segment but no what you're really experiencing is a paid big pharma ad delivered as news and they'll gloss over the negative side effects of Ozempic like a paralyzed colon

27:49 Yeah that's a pretty big side effect but you know everybody is taking it now and Adam Curry is great about saying look, the food we're eating is causing us to be fat. Have a little self-discipline don't go to Big Pharma for another pill to solve this problem and that just one example of many but I do love their show I really don't miss it Last American Vagabond I also think is running on all cylinders. Every time there is a new thing thrown at us, I go to see what Ryan Christian has said about it and I find myself agreeing almost every time." Same with Jimmy Dore, I would say- That was one of your best episodes of the year Greg. I think you and Ryan had amazing conversation that was really cool. Ryan's a good one. I'm just thinking Paul Kudinec of Winter Oak as well from like the left or post left anarchist perspective.

28:39 His stuff, that would be another one. When it comes to Russia, Gilbert Doctorow is a Brussels-based Russia expert and not in the way of saying that Putin destroyed Christmas and killed Bambi's mother and all the kind of nonsense that's happening. He's actually written... Dude I've been doing this for like 25 years! What's going on is a mess and it will not end well but it's from the level I had several degrees in Russian history and Russian culture. I speak, and they have a holiday home in Russia based in Brussels." His analysis is an essential counterpoint to the lunacy that we have. So just throwing a couple of other names out there but Ryan's a good one as well, of course. Well this Russia guy you mentioned what does he say that's unique given his expertise?

29:26 It's just as NATO started its eventually, unfortunately successful attempts to drag Russia into a much bigger war. We got at the opening of the Ukrainian stuff, the island and the ghost planes and all the complete utter fabrications behind the fact that we're supporting a Nazi regime and his ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians in the eastern part of what was formerly the eastern part of Ukraine. So we got this stupidest levels of propaganda I think I've ever seen for any war, ever. And then on the other side you had pro-Russia propaganda and it's like the same thing they did with Trump. Like oh Putin is doing like a 5D chess thing and it's going to be this or that. Well probably not. You know? What Gilbert Dottiro does is

30:15 I don't want to say it's more like Putin propaganda because it's not that, but it's a more sober look from an expert in Russia and Russian politics and history about how the war is playing inside Russia and how its viewed in places like Iran. And so on. So you get a clearer and more measured view of what's happening, not the swivel-eyed lunacy that we get from the neocon NATO world. the presumably paid or not Putin stats. It's been a weird couple of years, like everyone's disappointed me. You know what I mean? Like come on now! Why can't we just have like... We're the hell of no war people rather than anyway it's fine. So I liked Gilbert Doctorow for that and he's

30:58 He's actually a more prominent intellectual voice outside of the Anglosphere. So he does go on Iranian TV and he does go on Russian TV, and he makes sure he watches like the Russian version of 60 Minutes so he's the one who can gauge what's actually going on better inside Russia because we get the whole Putin is dying of cancer, everyone in Russia hates Putin, the country is about to collapse all this stuff... This is garbage right? And it's kind of important, almost coming back to that autonomic regulation thing to understand how close we are to World War III because peddling it is very good for business and very bad for your health. And that is a great point about everyone disappointed you that's another reason i think i was motivated. Do this on one hand i am often disappointed by people i followed previously i guess apparently like i mentioned about some audience members disappointed in me i mean, you have to form an opinion on every new thing and for them dot line up across the board i guess it's fairly rare regardless of what position your end but

31:57 This is supposed to help people kind of find better resources that they can trust to get it right most of the time and looking at the military conflict stuff. Just because I want to throw in some heavy detailed information here. You did have a really great presentation for your premium members, the Angmar War which was a geopolitical presentation you said a lot of interesting things in there the Angmar war being another of course Lord of The Rings or Tolkien reference... I guess it's not Lord Of The Rings it's- For Lord Of The Rings yeah Yeah so but anyway

32:36 You talked about Ukraine and you said, well it seems like what's going to be the result is that Russia will get the East and Black Rock will get the West. And I've heard more people talking about the amount of acreage in land that Black Rock is gobbling up and that a lot of it has to do with food production and controlling areas of heavy food production for all of Europe And you also said something that I've only heard a couple people say. Really Graceful is a channel, I follow this girl Grace, her channel's called Really Graceful on YouTube she makes little conspiratorial videos She said something about the premise that they were building a new Israel in Ukraine or that's what that operation was meant for and you mentioned that too and it kind of connects these two conflicts

33:28 It's an interesting idea. I mean, Zelensky...I told this to my wife and she was like, well, Zelensky is Jewish and then he also is apparently trying to get Marina Abramovic someone to help teach kids or lead the school system, which is like what a weird choice. She's not even in education. She's just a satanic artist of some kind." It's something like the education ambassador for Ukraine is Marina Abramovich. Yeah. The low bar should be that we should not be able to find any pictures of a person in that position bathed in blood. Can we just... That's the bar?

34:07 If you're going to be working on the school system, just don't have photos of you bathed in blood. But yeah, talk to us a little bit about that because it's an outside-the-box idea I've only heard a few places and was interested when I perked up when I heard you say it as well. So I got most of that from Catherine Fitz speaking of analysis that I like right? Because about six months ago she said trying to work out Let me back it up. From the prophecy level, from the forecast level, from the Armstrong level we look at what's going on in Ukraine and understanding that this is part of the inertia that pulls us into World War III to 2025-2027. So it's kind of like we know the outcome you drop down to the next analysis level where Katherine Fitz and Whitney and everyone are

34:51 And so middle of last year, Catherine Wilson-Fitz with her background on Wall Street and housing development and so on was just looking at the numbers going why is Germany doing this? Because it's destroying their economy. But also what was the deal for Ukraine like? So Russia gets to these, BlackRock gets the West, am I trying to clear everyone out to build a new Valhalla or something? That was her words like are they trying to clear everyone out because it's not just half a million dead there's 8 million Ukrainians that have vanished as in left the country not vanished off the earth And she was looking at it long before the Israel stuff happened. It's like, what are they trying to do? They're trying to build a new Valhalla and in the back of her head ... She didn't actually mean like a Norse afterlife but the people at the top of this power pyramid have some wacky beliefs right so she meant it in an albeit I wouldn't use that word because it's a bit dismissive about our Norse spiritist friends but I get what she means. Like is going to be some sort of Eastern European neon like we have in Saudi Arabia. Like they just making some wacky new kingdom

35:49 Tapshaven kingdom, whatever. And there has always been a partially... well not partially just brazenly antisemitic notion that there is some kind of Qazari mafia conspiracy to Israel like 19th century anti-Semitism to I don't know reflirt the Khazar empire in that part of the world. So what you would automatically do is dismiss the idea that there's some kind subsequent geopolitical arrangement that may or may not involve Israel. And you're like, okay well that's wrong because it's anti-Semitic and then we'll just sit with this weird Lulhalla Neom idea. And then the Israel Gaza stuff happens and the forecast for Israel is not great over the rest of this decade because of this. So obviously the genocide in Gaza is about a

36:41 a bunch of stuff, but the Ben Gurion Canal and all the rest. When you jump up to the level of realizing the longer term play with Russia is to eliminate its hydrocarbon money and that's why this stuff in Niger was so important this year because Europe went along with the American neocon war effort based on the promise that there will be pipelines coming from Africa to replace their Russian energy and then The coups happened, and that's why Victoria Nuland nightmare queen of neocon warmongering had to actually fly to Africa and see what she could do about it. Same thing with Ukraine. This is a part of land where the non-Russian pipelines would make it into Europe. So there are all these stacked reasons behind it that make it mysterious and murky from a forecast perspective. And I think this is where conspiracy land fails most of the time

37:37 Just because the super elite have one particular wacky belief doesn't mean it's going to come off. So when I talk about there is obviously some kind of new country tax haven wacky plans for Ukraine that Zelensky was bribed to effectively facilitate. And they'll have gas pipelines, that will be who the hell knows? God only knows right like the wacky medium term world economic forum style plans obviously has something to do with this place now I think conspiracy line once we work better out Oh shit so there's an ulterior agenda too

38:14 what's going on. We leap to, oh it's totally going to happen." It was like no, these are just dumb stupid beliefs. This all fails and that's what you can find when you look at a forecast level of it. To some extent, it doesn't matter what Victoria Newland fucking plans for gas pipelines into Europe about we end up in World War III and by the next decade as Pluto moves further into Aquarius we do this complete reorganizing about politics. And that's why I stack them, right? So, I look at the forecasts and then I look at the analysis and fit the two together." Something weirder than merely trying to involve Russia in a war with NATO went on with Ukraine. It's winding up because we've noticed in the last couple of months even The New York Times which would print any of that ghost plane fake crap

39:09 It's like, oh maybe we should stop bankrupting the United States by I don't even want to say giving money to Ukraine because it's actually just laundering it through Ukraine and back to American military contractors. And the guns then get sent to cartels everywhere around the world. So I don't think this was a perfect plan if you look at what they wanted for Ukraine. I honestly think they wanted the war with Russia. They wanted it to escalate so that which would never happen march into Moscow oust Putin and then get their own Western oligarchs in and seize control of Russia's assets. That would have been the perfect case, that would have been done within six months of last year. This I think is a compromised plan B of let's just keep angry

39:54 and continuous wound, which should in theory... It's apparently supposed to bleed Putin dry. But he manufactures his own bullets and the rest of us don't and we're all running out of stuff." So it's a very costly attempt to quote unquote bog him down whilst opening up other fronts in the form of Israel which is designed to escalate to include obviously Iran and Syria and then Russia and so on. They're going to throw everything at this until they get their world war? But I think that what's happening in Ukraine is, from a neocon perspective it was like well we didn't get everything we wanted. Let's see what wins we can take out of this. Yes and

40:34 That presentation is just so good. I think it's like two and a half hours, I would suggest people check out the whole thing. Just be a member for a month and check that out. It's still cheaper than like a movie ticket from when we used to go to the movies. And we do quarterly Geopolitics presentations for that reason because it's not just a disappointment. Like what was spoken about in the beginning of the episode, I will never lie to people. I'll do my best at sharing the truth but that doesn't mean You fucking pheasants out there on the open internet, get everything because most of you are idiots. Not listeners to this show but I don't need the goddamn drama of whatever." Like if you can pay a nominal amount if you are actually interested in this material from someone who's been, if I may say reasonably accurate at predicting that the left and rights of this apocalypse and coming into World War III

41:29 Is that worth 12 bucks? I think it's worth 12 bucks. Yeah, yeah. I've had the same kind of happy accident that some things are more uncomfortable to talk about if I read a person's book and it's like, ooh, that's very spicy. I don't necessarily have to save it for the second hour but it is sometimes a happy accident We're dropping the amount of people by a huge magnitude who hear this spicy part and hopefully those people are not offended because they do pay my bills. But another thing you say in that presentation about why this gets worse, it's not just a couple of conflicts, a couple of dustups that are going to go away

42:06 but you brought up the fact that Netanyahu for decades has really wanted to stick it to Iran. So, you have this situation where Netanyahu wants to kill enough Palestinians in Gaza to trigger a response from Iran because he knows that triggers a response from the US and now it's on and the US in his mind would be crushing Iran. And then the flip side is Hamas Or, you know just general Arab states they're talking about mobilizing enough to destroy Israel perhaps. Like hey this is a problem like if we just got rid of them like we all have the same general religion and philosophy we'd get along a lot better

42:49 So they're trying to mobilize and if they were to try to get rid of Israel, obviously that would trigger a response from the US. It just feels like there's a lot of people who have had some dark wishes for many years and they're seeing this as the opportunity to shoot their shot, throw that Hail Mary and hopefully If this, then that and that than this. And if they can connect all the dots correctly, they'll get what they want. So I think something when you think about people in that position of power and in that mindset, yeah, this isn't going to get better it's going to get much worse and nobody is gonna have the humility not act like you can already see

43:34 People are like, well they forced my hand. It's like they didn't but you're going to go through the motions. So one of the things that makes prediction easier and it's almost a David Icke-ism right? Because he said this decades ago so you can see what these people are doing because you're not a psychopath but they are psychopaths. But you have to jump up to the level... Speaking of shows that I love right? I was on Aeon for New Year's live stream And we're talking about the thing that happened in Colorado, which at the moment appears to have been paused. We'll see what happened to Trump and it's important as we move into this year to predict at the right level. The wrong level of prediction is like, oh what's going to happen with the election? It's like, Oh it'll be this so I'll fake it and they'll do that. No no you need to jump up and this is the same thing with Israel and Russia and all the rest of them. Jump up to the level of goals. So when it comes to the election

44:26 because we're halfway through the heist. The goal is to make sure the potato in chief or whatever meat suited demon they replace it with stays nominally in power so they can complete this great reset transformation idiotic goal that is going on at the moment." So, that's the goal. Then you look ahead and say well, we can't have ... It'll probably be Trump. God save us all by the way but it will probably be Trump on a ticket for the Republicans. We can't have him in a fair fight cause we'll lose. So, you've got to look at all the options in front of them. Can we take him off the ballot in enough states? Is that going to work or not? If that doesn't work it's going to be some kind of martial law situation to make sure everyone postal votes so they can steal it that way." I mean they might assassinate him... They might. They've certainly done it before. You know what I mean? And you just have to look at it from that level of the outcome they want is one way or the other a continuance of the regime through November 2024.

45:22 That's 100% so. As to how that plays out, and it's fun to guess don't get me wrong. It's like I think it's going to be a martial law situation as a result of some very large scale terrorist events that are going to happen next year in the US because the country is awash with Hezbollah activists and Chinese sleeper cells and all kinds of other little beasties that have come through the southern border. So I think it's going to be that but like it doesn't matter if I'm wrong on that or It won't matter, because if I look at the astrology and the forecast, the right level to predict that is the technocrat criminals that are currently in charge are going to do whatever it takes to keep up going. Because they're halfway through the bank heist you can't stop or you'll all go to prison and get killed. Same thing with Israel and Russia and so on.

46:09 Look at it at the level of where the agendas are. The scary one with Israel is this, Netanyahu wants American men and women to die defeating Iran rather than Israeli men. He's been trying for decades. He has been pretending they have a bomb and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He is the most dangerous bag man that Mr Global has I think he's just anyway or Specter or whatever you want to call him. And so a few years ago, Kissinger said that Israel has become a geopolitical nightmare. That was Henry Kissinger So, if you're Netanyahu, you have to realize that America has lost its appetite. You wouldn't know it from looking at Congress for supporting Israel no matter what because the geopolitics of the world have changed so much so that it doesn't really need that aircraft carrier right there in the Middle East because we haven't done a petrodollar for decades. I know people talk about all the petrodollars getting in. Oh my God! It's the 1980s pick up your giant brick phone and get a fucking clue

47:13 So, you've got a ticking time bomb if you're him. If you're Bibi, you have to get this war started now because you're running out of appetite in the US to do it. The appetite's gone by the way. It's the same thing with Ukraine. They're going to float it off having a draft so that Americans can die for Israel, for defending a genocide or for Zelensky. This is a mess right? But once you see that that's what's going on and say oh there's no getting out of this he has to have that war because from his perspective and it's kind of true... That's existential for Israel. And if you get the Iran component then you get the rest of the Arab world then you got Russia

47:53 It's just a matter of when, it's not a matter of if. And that's what happens when you jump up to that level of motive rather than playing the game guessing with oh I think its going to be this or I think there is going to be a dodenuk in Jerusalem blah blah blah like could be any of them and it will be some nightmarish assortment over them but don't get knocked off course by a guessing game where actually forecasting which is the level above is more predictive Well I like the analogy of the bank heist, that you're in the middle of it. You can't stop now because you will get caught and put up against a wall or thrown in jail so they are full steam ahead. They're like look we already cranked the dial to 8, we're cranking it to 11 now! We can't go back.

48:40 And I want to get into a few more people. So when it comes to maybe people who are inspirational to you, when it comes to the individual level how to navigate these times and keep your sanity may be spiritual aspects of things that are going on outside of the macro geopolitical worldview At an individual level, who are you looking to for guidance? Who's got it right?" Charles Eisenstein is a big one for me. Orland Bishop who is one of his friends and collaborators occasionally he's very difficult to find but basically if people don't know he brokered the peace between the Crips and the Bloods just to bring it back to some 90s fun but

49:34 conflict resolution wizard. He's very inspired by Dahomey and other West African spiritualities, and he brings this just incredible wisdom to those kinds of situations that people have in common with him. Charles Eisenstein's wife Stella is another one, those two combined but she has a method of healing called resonant attention which is Like, other energy healing modalities just a way of attending upon someone's energy and physical and whatever body so that whatever healing process is going on completes. She has watched Orland Bishop bring someone down from a psychotic break just by sitting next to them, just like sitting and attending. So he's full with it. It's incredible.

50:21 Another one would be Bayo Komolase, and he's a recovering ... Well he made it through the psychological industrial complex. But in theory, he's an academic and psychologist but he's more of thinker and a philosopher. And he pioneered this idea of post activism which is an important I guess aside to what is mine to do because it poses the question what if the way we respond to the crisis as part of the crisis? And that's another one of those questions like, what is mine to do? That brings that twisting tricks to wisdom. Oh I'm going to interrupt my patterns and getting in an argument we were just talking about before we hit record with friends and family at Christmas or what have you. It's like wait, what if the way I respond to the crisis which is not being seen and heard is part of the crisis expand out on a macro level? What if the way I respond

51:18 economic and political injustice is part of that crisis. And so he's that kind of powerful turning inward trickster wisdom, almost Daoist wisdom. Those are the ones that I find tremendous inspiration with at the level of philosophy. Some of them I can count as friends so a good example speaking of Miguel from Hang On Bytes, I always appreciate agnostic analysis of what's going on and yourself Greg because you deal with some really heavy stuff in the shows and it's nice to have Someone who keeps his mind and his heart staying above the gloom waters as you go through it. So those are mine, I don't know what are yours? Well, I'm kind of at a loss in this area. I mean, I like Miguel and I like you and I like Charles Eisenstein and I like Lin McTaggart but we're just tossing back and forth names that people have heard us throw out many times before

52:15 I like the nomad capitalist when it comes to the individual level. If you are of the opinion or of the position in your life that you can think globally and you can be nimble enough to go wherever, he is really crushing it Andrew Henderson when it comes Living globally i mean i have from his youtube channel it says go where you're treated best we create and implement bespoke holistic strategies for successful investors not renewers to legally reduce their tax bills, diversify and protect your assets become global citizens and maximize their freedom if you're open to living globally dual citizenship offshore accounting.

52:56 then you're in the right place. And he's best in class for a lot of that stuff, and I've considered it dual passports places to potentially move the family that are outside of the spotlight outside of the main stage of what will be World War III. Even going back to that presentation, you make a reference to this might be a Martin Armstrong quote but the potential for US draft at least being discussed, if not approved perhaps quietly by September 29th of this year. Odd specific date 51.6 years from the day Nixon directed the draft to end this time the difference will be that it will include women." So that's not good

53:43 If a passport in Uruguay or Chile or somewhere like that could be helpful to allow you to escape there if you have moral qualms with your tax dollars implicating you in all this stuff, which I definitely do. I'm not really big on that idea that they tell us what they're going to do so their karma is cleared because You can put something in a movie, but you can't guarantee everybody saw the movie. So how are you going to be sure your karma is clear? Because that's a pretty big fucking deal! So you're gonna want to make sure you got it right so the seeding of things I'm more into predictive programming affecting consciousness to kind of expect these tragedies camp but

54:23 It seems like it's a pretty safe bet that this thing is going to happen. And on the karma perspective, I hate that...I am implicated like it seems well-designed if you are in the karma camp. It seems well designed to suck everybody into it by financially having us pay for the military industrial complex. So Nomad Capitalist allows you some outs Not only do you want to just keep as much of your own money as you can, but you can get yourself karmically free from participating in all that by going offshore. It's complex. You know it's on my to-do list at that level that I never get far enough down too when it comes to setting up a trust and an offshore bank account protecting assets this way

55:04 But I do watch a lot of his videos and man, it is high level analysis. And he knows a lot of this stuff we're talking about which is why... He's not as overt sometimes because he just gives the solution. He's like you're going to want to get out of the US most likely and this is where and how you could do it. He's great. Another one in that world that I quite like is Mikhail Thorup and his podcast is called The Expat Money Show. So Andrew Anderson, we've got people in common actually but Clients are crypto millionaires and people who can do the mid six, mid seven figure.

55:43 income situation. Mikhail Thorep is more, well he includes that but people underneath it and he's got some really fun detailed guests going through different countries, Costa Rica et cetera et cetera and he's lived outside of the US himself for a long time which I think is Canada but he's lived in Southeast Asia and Latin America with his family for like 20 years. In That World is a really good one. The strange thing about That World or not so much as strange thing I would say is the risk because if you... It can become a weird hobby. People, men mostly will kick the tires on and never leave Boise. But we'll kick the tires on what passport combination is actually the best and just kind of be careful with your energy and attention. This is almost back to point one where do I want to do in 2024? Some of that Austin was talking about in the podcast, the forecast episode that we did recently would be careful

56:40 where you enlist, and just be on guard for people enlisting. The astrology of next year is because this is what happens in the buildup to war but it's very Mars-centric. It's not the biggest transit of the year but the Mars action is quite intense and exhaustive over the course of a year. Dumbbelled to the beginning and end of the year nevertheless. You only have so much time before things get even more hectic And just make sure that when you're putting your energy and attention to something, it does have a trajectory. And that doesn't mean don't listen to Andrew Henderson. I love his videos. They're great. Right? And they do all these things with therefore you should use Nomad Capitalist but like that's what they're for. But yeah, but just... You can lose hours and then nights and then weeks to a project that is

57:34 Maybe not the right thing for you. This is coming back to that, what is mine to do as we look at it? Whereas universally the health stuff, these psychic resilience and coherence that's going to be essential for you wherever you happen to be and it's all about sequencing I would make sure you get that stuff up-soded first but he's...I like him and I like Mikkel Thorø. I'm very interested in that kind of world. I've got friends in that world It's really exciting And speaking of Christmas Because I've been a bunch of places this year, internationally outside of the West like Vanuatu, Philippines, Paraguay. So some of them all three of them but especially Vanuatu and Paraguay are examples of places that have these schemes so that you can get residency or what have

58:19 I was talking to my dad about it at Christmas, and he just has that absolute boomer attitude of well things are bad there. What about the healthcare system? My closest friend here in the Valley in her mid-40s she realized or found out she had a hole in her heart. In a developed country like Australia that took exactly a year for her to get into surgery to fix that. So, this idea that if you moved to Vanuatu... Well, Vanuatu is an interesting choice but Latin America actually has quite a good healthcare system compared to the West and certainly compared to places like Australia and the US so we flipped it. And that's what I think Andrew at Nomad Capitalist is so good at he's like, I'm out here living yet let me tell you. We just have this assumption of the West is so great but they're basically running on brand fumes at this point and its certainly true

59:07 Yeah, that's a great term. And I agree A lot of times I am just daydreaming and I'm rooted here. I know that I'm not probably going anywhere unless it gets like draft level scary bombs dropping unless it's like the safety of my family has to be out of the US. I'm pretty much where I'm gonna be but We have been talking for about an hour so I thought we'd slide more and i got a couple other categories some of them are just fun health and healing is definitely one but we did do the top 10 healing books. So, I was gonna not lead with that one but I did want to throw in at least the overview for free listeners of the forecast with Austin because I didn't listen to it and he says a lot and there's a lot of great details we can talk about

59:57 Main headline is that 2024 is a season finale and 2025 is like a season opener. So this is like, you know the closing of a story before a new story takes part but it's up the same show so it's like that's like a really great analogy for that reason I even think it's true on a personal level like we relocated We had another baby, we solidified what our family unit is going to be. We're not doing it again as long as we can help it. Florida laws be damned if it comes down to it but we basically did everything and now we're making this house a home you know? We're trying to do the food forest type of thing that will be the

1:00:42 rest of the year so in that sense of like the end of a season yet the climax the rising action was the move and having the next baby an hour in that like the epilogue which is where nothing really happens but you just see the characters mulling around in the dirt and really setting their roots where they are, I could say. So I think that is a great analogy that works on a macro and micro scale but i wanted to end the first hour with again going back The Ang Moor War, that's going to have to be in the title now. But you say here are the things you need to do and this relates to what you had just said which is get ruthless with your time because this is war and if it's coming in a couple of years, do you want to spend your time

1:01:35 Absorbing 25 hours of content about where you could and should go if you had the balls to do it. Do you really want to rewatch eight seasons of The Office? You know, think about what you really want while we're in a window of time where things are still manageably good for most people comparatively to where they will be 2025 to 2027, 2030. So I think that's something people should sit with and then you also say if you're going to move now well check on that one find your points of compliance and non-compliance find your line in the sand what will you put up with? And what will you not? Stick to that and think about where that is gonna be because those lines are gonna be pushed

1:02:28 And you say that there's a learning plan where you should learn about health, AI, the digital control grid mitigation and government risk. Then you say that you should have a year's worth of iodine. Let's leave the free listeners with at least that. Why a year's worth of iodine? Well, because it doesn't go off obviously and we don't get out of this cycle without nuclear weapons being used somewhere. And I do believe it's about 70% likely they'll be used in the US. So we're talking about 2027 probably for that? That's not a next year thing

1:03:05 With that being said, if we get nips in the US next year it'll be like a false flag dirty bomb type situation that they'll blame on Hezbollah or Iran or whatever. Again you jump up to their level of story where this stuff's going to carry on? It will be that but so John Michael Greer says collapse now and avoid rush. You're going to want to get your loogles which is brand of choice for me now, while you can. Because the first bomb goes off whether it's a Dory nuke in Kiev or whether it's a Dory nuke in Times Square, the first thing people are going to do is like, oh radiation! I should do something about that because iodine is the first aid intervention in instances of radiation sickness.

1:03:49 And by the way, a year's worth of Lugolz is like little trade because you only need a few drops. It's not something that you mix with gin and drink right? So it's not that big of a deal. Treat yourself in sales to years' worth of wine. That's why it's also peace of mind at that point Sorry, you said a year's worth of Lugolz? Is that the brand? Lugolz. It is the one because you should be supplementing with iodine but legally you're not allowed to say that on bottles it's like this is not for consumption blah blah blah. Lugolz is the one if you do supplement with iodine people typically use so its the right ratio percentage to use

1:04:29 There are other brands that doesn't have a special magical powers when it comes to radiation. That's just my recommendation. Interesting, man! Recommendations like that definitely get people a little riled up thinking about the need for such a thing but it is what it is better to be prepared than not The need is for peace of mind because it is 100% that nukes will used in this decade And if you don't evaporate it, if it doesn't happen next to you what are you going to do about it? There's not a huge amount we can. By the way there is Cormac McCarthy The Road like I'm going live in my boomer hole in the ground until everyone's dead and come out and fight zombies. This such a weird thing to say but its kind of good news when the free hour comes up

1:05:16 One of the things we've learned over the 20th century is that nuclear radiation is not as bad as we think for the environment and actually decays faster than you thought. So it's not game over when the nukes drop, okay? But you will want some kind of physical support in situations of nuclear clouds floating all over the planet. That's as much as you can do. You have to do as much as you can do and then the rest is up to God Yeah, I was going to bring that up as a silver lining because there was a comment somewhere where you had said something similar. The good news is that it seems like we have overestimated the damage of nuclear radiation on life a little bit in the long term so... Well think about everything else that was Cold War propaganda

1:06:11 the Apollo missions, famously. But anything to do with ufology it's all fake directed at the Soviets and it's the same thing with dialing up the fear when it comes to nuclear weapons. By the way they're not benign these are bombs don't get me wrong they're not... The trouble is and this happens with flat earth and all the rest of which just so gets more people hating on you Greg But because they aren't as bad as was used for propaganda during the Cold War has led some people to think that nuclear bombs are fake, or that nuclear technology is fake. That's conspiracy going too far and it's wrong. The good news is like they're not... I mean they're terrible! It's such a strange thing to say but they're not as bad as the stories you might've read in Superman comics in the 70s right? It's not game over if one of two of them goes off and I can't believe that's the good news but it is.

1:07:03 Touche. All right, way to stick the landing but before we wrap up and really cut you loose you are doing a very ambitious and obviously plug anything you want to plug but I think that the main show in town is The Sigil of Day project which i think is really great just for hashtag making attention getting marketing kind of stunt and a real thing. From a branding perspective and marketing perspective, it's smart and it's ambitious I would never do it because it's so much work you did a solo show about it which had so many great points about what this can just do for your worldview your mental state your processing have your own goals and what you want to achieve as an exercise that's a lot more than drawing little squiggles isn't it? Yeah yeah

1:07:54 There's no way into it that doesn't make sense to me right now. As we head through 2024, it's probably a good idea to get better at magic just seems like more practice whatever you want to call that magical prayer or whatever and that's the Q1 course speaking of. It's probably a good idea to get better at it. That's one thing and the other thing is this is prayer related again once a day to quietly attend to your desires eight minutes of what's coming to the world for you. To look with optimism and to cast grappling hooks of desire into the future once a day for a few minutes, there is medicine in that right? So that's two things

1:08:43 The thing I've always liked about sigil magic, for people who are kind of professionally involved in magic is because it's so blank and invitational. It's basically a new thought exercise right? It's not that different to any other Mitch Horowitz New Thoughts style stuff It's so invitational that it can work with astrological timing, it can work with experiments with different kinds of prayers whether that's to saints or Greek gods or what have you. So for people who want to move into that creatively, that's really good and honestly attending to your desires in the sense of truly what wants to come through because people think their impulses are their desires. That's not correct. The impulses are typically what gets in way of the expression of your desires.

1:09:31 That was it. I'm going to do it, and obviously ... I guarantee because a year is a long time ... I will not do a single one every single day. When I look back on this year, I was hospitalized in South America's second poorest country. They used AI to help write my uncle's wake. There are all kinds of wacky things that happen where you'll get to do a wash so if you skip a few days put them all together but it just seems like ... I don't think it's that much work to be honest I'm certainly not going to be doing a video a day on it, and that's for sure. And it was quite clear to join the Telegram group and share with that if you're keen. But I'm going to make sure that at the end of 2024 or one way or another, I've done 365 sigils. So I hope I'm not up late December 29 trying to shit out 280 of them probably won't happen because

1:10:20 My life at the moment lends itself more to daily magic because I have more clients and so on. So it slips easier into my life than it probably does other people's. I can't see how that isn't transformational on a personal level, and also in field level can't see how it's not a net positive to the field to have a few thousand people every day think towards a better future. I can't see how that doesn't help So that's my thinking behind the project. And I'm going to do, depending on when this comes out and might've already done it... My first show for the year is a solo show talking through 101 on how to do sigils and what have you. It'll all be on YouTube or it will all be on the podcast or it will all be on runescape.com. If you want to get actively involved like you can live your best life. You don't have to

1:11:10 be properly involved and still participate on a daily basis. But we're shooting the ideas around in their room chat, telegram. So that's it! There is no money, there is no obligation just hang out without it. I love it. It think its very ambitious and creative and I planned to go back to the sigil course and refresh my memory about the later stages of what to do when you've made the squiggle and it's great to know. You're doing a solo show about that this will probably come out on January 4th or 5th so people are already behind. Okay cool then go and watch my solo show yes there ya go yeah I think people should engage with it even if you don't hit every day like we're not all magicians but like, It has to be good to think about your intentions to be in the moment to think about what you want

1:12:01 out of life, and to do a practical enchantment to try to adjust your probability towards it a little bit. That's what it is. It's a probability enhancer. It's not a guarantee." Yeah. In the same way that going to church is medicinal... You have to pick the right church but going to church or temple or whatever results in better health outcomes whether God exists or not. And that was my argument for Richard Dawkins, the health outcomes of regular spiritual attendance are obvious In the same way, even if magic isn't real this process is useful. So I can make a materialist argument for one sigil spell a day and i think you're right it's like you get to sit with your desires you get to imagine a better future

1:12:53 on a daily basis, because we forget life sucks in that nice way. Life is busy and frantic and stressful and what have you. You can go long gaps of time without checking in with yourself about what's alive in you at that point. Right? And you talk a lot about desire and what the universe Has that it wants to come through you and just like the jordan peterson thing in the beginning about speaking truth helps you stay in your lane for the life you're supposed to live so does pursuing desires like desires are kind of that internal tug. That's trying to get you,

1:13:31 Through the bullet points of the life you came here to lead and that's why it is a desire of yours or at least that's kind of the message i've taken from when you talk about that kinda thing so. It's beautiful regardless I think people should engage with it helps you keep some control keeping your head that you have a little control instead of what we're gonna be doing a lot as focusing on the negative most likely it's what we do but there's also room for that and it takes 10 minutes today and i think anyone can do it So, cool. Well that's awesome! Good luck with that project. Good luck with the prayer course. The foundations course is super impressive I think people should check that out and you got a new book you're working on to complete the DOT series Many Irons in the Fire as always but you're the man i had a great time talking to you this is an excellent way i think to kick off our first show of the year and thanks man thank you so much always always a pleasure

1:14:30 Alright, alright. Kicking the new year off correctly! A look at the road ahead and some of the best human signposts to keep us on the right path This was great We laughed we cried there were moments of raw personal honesty There were jokes It's a real embodiment of the spirit of THC and no better guy to do it with And we didn't necessarily get to all the categories I had planned but Gordon mentioned several people i wasn't aware of and I've already got a lot of new stuff to check out I guess I just couldn't get away from his geopolitical assessment. And when it's paired with the astrological outlook he did with Austin and Martin Armstrong's Socrates cycles, it really is one of the clearest pictures I know of and it felt important to give you the gist of that stuff also. My notes got a lot more in them but I already kept them for 30 minutes.

1:15:20 Though we can say, based on his analysis it looks like it's going to be a year of false starts. A lot of asking is this World War 3 now? And it won't be! I think its important to keep that in mind because the media does love to overhype If you're not careful they will drain your tank before the main event even comes It's only the 5th and it is already off to the races with Epstein document hype that reveals nothing new. And some weird situation in Miami on New Years Eve when 8 foot tall creatures were chasing people? Maybe some blue beam op or something but that is one I can't help but follow, they got me! Have you seen this Kat Williams interview and the cringey ludicrous response

1:16:03 There is certainly something in the air already. I was thinking about this too, it's a fine line to try and warn about hard truths and tough times and not be doom and gloom but we try! We attempt to keep it hopeful...I guess what's more hopeful than saying that their plans will inevitably fail? We just have to get to the other side of it which is really why that show Foundation is so good because that is the basic plot One of my sections that was just for fun, if we had time was to ask Gordon for his favorite fictional media when we need a break. And I know he would have said foundation and i've heard him refer to it as a Martin Armstrong sci-fi story and that's pretty true If you know Martin Armstrong's background He made this really accurate Socrates AI model

1:16:56 And it was either the FBI or the CIA, but they came to him and they were like give us this. And he was like no! So they actually put him in jail and he got out and now he continues to give his analysis and has a membership platform and Socrates is still reading the digital tea leaves and it doesn't look good but In both foundation and reality The only question is how long will be pain window be? How quickly can we get to the other side? It's a great show. And as for the last THC episode of 2023 with Diana Pasulka, I knew it would be well-liked and I just said that episodes never really get better than a 4.7 on the plus site and it is sitting at a 4.9! I guess that means one person gave it a four star over a five but hell I'll take that as a strong finish to the year

1:17:50 Also, I forgot to thank Isaac Weishaupt of Illuminati Watcher for helping make that happen. I saw that she had the new book out. I tried to get in touch through the email that I had, and it was defunct. She mentioned some creepy behavior. I understand that her book exploded and I think she wanted to put a little distance between her and the general public—these things happen—but I also wasn't getting any response from the publisher. And I saw Isaac Post about interviewing her and having the book so I asked him and he gave them a nudge and here we are." So a major tip of the hat to him. He's doing great things with his podcast too, get into it! Especially if you are interested in parsing the Twin Peaks symbolism I got a Twin Peaks tee shirt from him as well. I tried to pay he wouldn't let me but today show with Gordon actually pairs really nicely with Diana's although you'd have to hear the full thing because if you did hear that second hour you barely believe it was a continuation from the first but that is common

1:18:54 Gordon made some great points about ufology, high strangeness and shamanism in the second half. But we also talked at length about the proper health paradigm German new medicine and Dana White's health journey funny enough And we rounded it out with a bit more of a deeper look at that astrological forecast really fun I always enjoy talking to Gordon. I hope you enjoy listening The iodine thing is a little intense It definitely grounded me in the seriousness of the situation, but it is an easy way to be prepared. I also want to mention this other resource i had found so a while back one of our listeners told me that our old friend Brooks Agnew was selling hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin And shout out to that person! I appreciate it. I bought some from Brooks's website just to have since my family and I don't really do doctors and I haven't found

1:19:53 holistic resource out here yet. But recently I had to listen to the Dr Drew podcast, a brush up on an upcoming guest of my own and one of the ads was for an emergency medical kit from The Wellness Company T W C dot health if you want to go to the website Peter McCullough is actually their chief scientific officer And I do trust Peter McCullough but they put these kits together that allow you to take care of yourself better at home when you're in an ill state You know, it is largely still pharmaceuticals. The stuff that they don't want us to have when situations arise and maybe if you're starting from the level of the field you don't need any of this but it's just something I wanted to put out there because a lot of people wanted ivermectin on hand and had no idea where to get it And I've actually just considered taking it for that purpose of a parasite cleanse

1:20:48 But I did get one of their kits just to have and i will put it in the back of my closet with my iodine, I guess. Damn! But hey, many of our guests have been saying that a storm is coming for awhile now. I hope some of you have done something to use the knowledge to prepare in some kind of way. There is no universal template but we can say that just knowing a storm is coming is not enough if you don't adjust your course shutter their proverbial windows or something Gordon definitely reoriented his life with a move from London to his permaculture paradise in Tasmania, and we all know I moved from the failed state of California to the rebel stronghold of America's swampland. It is what it is there's a lot that I miss mainly my people

1:21:35 But I can't just let one of the most expensive cities in one of the most tax-heavy states in the country siphon away my income, just because on weekends I like to drink beers on the patio with a buncha people that I love who don't see the same problems as me. I would hope at minimum we're doing something like growing our own food or having a local rancher's number in our contacts. My dream is for the THC audience to be a huge factor in keeping America's independent grass-fed cattle industry afloat. I mean, what would piss off Bill Gates more really? Do it for that reason out of spite!

1:22:18 But all I can do really is offer the same suggestions while there's still time to position yourself. And maybe you even want to get in on the Sigil-A-Day project, and Gordon did just put out a YouTube video refreshing everyone on the principles of good sigil making! But that said, you know let's look at the meetup calendar where THC fans are finding other like-minded locals that they might be able to strategize and coordinate with when the time comes. And it looks like we do have a few more on the list! January 11th LA Truth at The Flame International Restaurant. January 13th another LA event at The Trails Cafe. January 16th Washington DC at Flaggard

1:23:04 And they really put it out there. This is an experiment, they are taking a chance and they're hoping someone shows up if you were in the Washington DC area and free on January 16th please RSVP for our fellow listener here January 20th Mountain Home Arizona The Rabbit Hole Coffee House & Brew aptly titled and January 23rd, Nashville Tennessee Monday night brewing on a Tuesday two for one beer deal. Can't miss it beautiful I love to see people using that calendar. I know I'm going to be using it myself before too long. I need more male camaraderie. I can't let work and kids dominate all of my time

1:23:51 I love it, but there is this little hole missing in my life here and as much as i don't like to mix work and pleasure... ...I might have too. So keep an eye out maybe in February or maybe even something for my birthday in March we'll see But yes kicking off the new year with a THC staple looking at the rough road ahead And trying to introduce everyone myself included to some of the important earth keepers out there I was shooting from the hip a little more than usual today, not really drawing from a big bunch of source material. But it worked out we've done the dance many times and it's hard to know exactly what we have to prepare for A lot of these things can be quite chaotic but my thought The intention here was that if you're plugged into people who usually get it right and carry the right energy It can be super helpful when you feel alone or stuck

1:24:45 or whatever, just looking for clarity on a situation. That was the intent! Hopefully mission somewhat accomplished but you be the judge And speaking of those San Diego friends, I miss so much. We're kicking off this new year with a fresh THC cover song done by a buddy of mine. He did the Sum 41 cover. He did the Weezer cover. We came up with this idea it's pretty good he missed a line So we're going to redo it if you like The Cut Of His Jib You can hear his music on SoundCloud under Tony Party! I'll leave a link in the show notes of course

1:25:23 But here's a taste. I'm getting out of here, i've done my part Your move conspiratorial move makers world war three war hawks and designers of the digital prison plan You're fucking who? I've come for the water Poison's in It's full of estrogen I made it difficult! I've come for your water I've come for your water, I've come for your water, I've come for your water, yeah. Land sea and desert, even the red they're mine forever.

1:26:50 I've come for your water.
